Habitation
Design and planning of residential spaces, from individual homes to community housing projects.
Habitation encompasses the design of spaces where people live, from personal dwellings to larger residential communities. This includes considerations of how architecture shapes daily life, responds to environmental concerns, and addresses housing needs across different contexts and populations.
The community explores adaptive reuse of existing structures, integration of nature within residential design, collaborative housing models, and projects that serve underserved communities. Work ranges from single-family homes built with sustainable materials to multi-unit developments that prioritize shared green space and social connection.
